New motor for Roberts C-mod car.

[Toby Larsson]

I think this would be perfect for Puertas new car. Two Yamaha R1 motors combined to a V8, 2.0l 380HP @13000RPM N/A. Nice article about the build in Racecar engineering. Cost ~$40K

[Robert Puertas]

I suggested putting one of those in Bill Martin's Europa a couple of years ago.
But it might be alright in the formula car too...
OTOH, a plain old Hayabusa motor or even a K20 would be enough to make the old Mondiale scary.

But sheesh, at least give me 6 months before I get bored with the Ford motor...

[Toby Larsson]

I think this is the first one using the Yamaha components. The other V8's where based on the Hayabusa and made about 320HP from 2.6l. I think that's the one in the Radical.

You can get one of these for only $27K http://www.h1v8.com/page/page/1562068.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

How about a nice S-2000 engine and trans?
I just happen to have one.

S2000 motor and trans too big and heavy. But I may have a need for the motor Assuming you don't mean a Pinto motor...

[Robert Puertas]

That's funny.
I assumed he meant the Honda drivetrain too. But couldn't imagine what I'd do with a S2000 transmission in a mid-engined car.
However, if you mean a Sports 2000 motor, that might be interesting.

[Michael Wood]

^yeah, that type of "S2000" might be a little more compelling

If you're like me (when I was driving an FF), you'll get tired of the motor pretty quickly...fortunately, all the other stuff that goes with those cars has long term entertainment value!

Jason,
Some info if you need it. 2008 S-2000 CR 16k, still in the car, hear it run.

I remember Robert linking a 2.0L R1 based V8 a few years ago. Some italian firm had one in a L7 clone.
